New to Omegas...oh my goodness
« on: 15 May 2009, 18:02:12 »
Hi everyone. Been meaning to get an Omega for some time. Bought one on Wednesday evening. 1994 M reg (M27 UPU) Only 64K. Was fine yesterday, however the engine management light came on on my way home and now is sick as a parrot. Its a 24V 2.5. Any help appreciated as I'm hopless with cars! PS i'm in Milton Keynes

The EGR is on the top left of your engine  as you stand at the front of the car. It is about two inches high and has a plug in connector for the wiring. First step is to make sure that is connected securely.  

If you do a search on the forum you may find a picture of an engine. A haynes manual would also be a good buy for general info.

Never having done this before I checked it a couple of times and it seems to be the only code before repeating the sequence. Cheers. The guy is sending me the Haynes manual as I forgot to pick it up when I bought it.
So the EGR is that little pot looking gizmo?
